Yes, it is possible to display a Member's inputted data from their unique CMS Item within a Course CMS Collection Page in Webflow without using custom code. Webflow allows you to connect and display dynamic content from different CMS collections using the CMS Collection Lists and dynamic embeds.

Here's how you can achieve this:

  1. Create your CMS Collections:
  • Create a "Members" collection with fields for the Member's data (e.g., name, email, etc.).
  • Create a "Courses" collection with fields for the course details (e.g., title, description, etc.).
  1. Set up the CMS Reference field:
  • In the "Members" collection, create a Reference field called "Course" that connects to the "Courses" collection. This field will allow you to associate a specific course with each member.
  1. Design your CMS Template pages:
  • Create a template for your "Courses" collection with the desired design layout.
  • Create a template for your "Members" collection, ensuring it includes a dynamic embed for the associated course details.
  1. Add a CMS Collection List:
  • On the Course CMS Collection Page, add a CMS Collection List element.
  • Set the Collection List to display the "Members" collection.
  • Configure the filter settings to show only members associated with the current course using the Reference field.
  1. Add dynamic embeds:
  • Within the CMS Collection List, add a dynamic embed element.
  • Connect it to the "Members" collection and choose the desired field(s) to display.
  1. Style the elements:
  • Customize the styling of the dynamic embed, CMS Collection List, and other elements on the page to match your design.

By following these steps, you can display a Member's inputted data from their unique CMS Item within a Course CMS Collection Page in Webflow without resorting to custom code. This allows for a seamless and dynamic display of data on your website.
